01/0910 SHOOTING SAFETY RULESFAILURE TO FOLLOWWARNING: THESE RULES CAN RESULTIN SERIOUS INJURY, PARTICULARLY TO THE EYE.1Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.There are several safe “carries” depending on the situation.NEVER ALLOW THE MUZZLE TO POINT IN THEDIRECTION OF A PERSON.2Treat every gun as if it were loaded.You can never be positive that you were the last person to handlethe gun. Never take anyone’s word about whether or not a gun isloaded. Always check a gun to see if it is loaded when removedfrom storage or received from another person. Even if you havefired an airgun one or more times and no pellet or BB wasexpelled from the barrel, it does not mean that the magazine ofthe gun is empty of ammunition. Any airgun can fail to feed forany number of reasons. Continue to treat the airgun as loadedand ready to fire. ALWAYS TREAT A GUN AS IF IT IS LOADEDEVEN IF YOU KNOW IT ISN’T.3Only load or cock a gun when you are shooting.A loaded gun has no place in your home orother public place.4Check your target and beyond your target.Be sure all persons are well clearof the target area before you shoot. Check behind and beyondyour target to be certain you have a safe backstop and that noperson or property could be endangered.5Anyone shooting or near a shooter shouldwear shooting glasses.Also, all other persons should remain behind the shooter.6Never climb or jump with a gun.You can’t control the direction of the muzzle if you stumble or fall.You should safely lay the gun down or hand it to a companionwhile you climb or jump over anything.7Avoid ricochet.Never shoot at a flat hard surface or at the surface of water.Ammunition can ricochet off of water just like a skipped rock.8Keep the muzzle clear.Never let anything obstruct the muzzle of a gun. Don’t allow themuzzle to come in contact with the ground.9Guns not in use should always be unloaded.Keeping guns unloaded when not in use is critical to the safety ofyou and others. When you are finished shooting, put the triggersafety in the “on” position and unload the gun. Store guns so thatthey are inaccessible to untrained shooters and store ammunitionseparately from the gun.10Respect other people’s property.Whether you’re target shooting or hunting, if you’re a guest onothers’ land, you should leave it exactly as you found it.Visit www.daisy.com and read the shootingsafety rules.

A quick check withthem will let you know when the next course will be startingin your area. If you would like more detailed information,write: Special Market Programs, Daisy, P.O. Box 220, Rogers,Arkansas 72757.GETTING STARTEDFirst, you should know that your Daisy is not a toy. It's agun. If you use it carefully, it will provide many years of enjoyment.But, if you aren't careful, it can be dangerous.Second, read this book. In conjunction with theOperation Manual, it tells you how to handle your new BBgun properly and how to have the most fun with it. Read itcarefully with a parent and make sure you all understand it.Then, put what you've learned into practice. And remember,it's your responsibility as a gun owner to make certain thatanyone using it is instructed in the rules of proper gun handling.SAFE GUN HANDLING IS THE KEYTO SHOOTING FUNIf you understand that "HANDLING" your gun meansevery time you touch it, and if you remember always to handlea gun as if it were loaded, then you are well on your wayto proper gun handling. A majority of air gun accidents in thiscountry are caused by 1) careless and improper handling ofthe gun, 2) believing the gun to be empty when it isn't, or 3)shooting at improper targets. All three causes can be avoidedif the shooter handles the gun properly.For years we have been teaching the 10 Shooting SafetyRules. Read, remember, practice and review these few simplerules. They will help you enjoy many hours of safe, fun, recreationalshooting.10 SHOOTING SAFETY RULES1. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.2. Treat every gun as if it were loaded.3. Only load or cock a gun when you are shooting.4. Check your target and beyond your target.5. Anyone shooting or near a shooter should wearshooting glasses.6. Never climb or jump with a gun.7. Avoid ricochet.8. Keep the muzzle clear.9. Guns not in use should always be unloaded.10. Respect other people’s property.It is also very important for you to remember that anytime you receive a gun from anyone, or take a gun from it'sstorage place, you should make sure it's unloaded anduncocked by pointing it in a safe direction and pulling thetrigger.WARNING: EVEN IF YOU HAVE FIRED THE AIR-GUN ONE OR MORE TIMES AND NO BB WAS EXPELLED, ITDOES NOT MEAN THAT THE GUN IS EMPTY OF BBs. CON-TINUE TO TREAT THE AIRGUN AS IF IT IS LOADED.Never look into the muzzle of your gun. You can't tell bylooking if your gun is loaded, so always treat it as if it were.Habits which you form now in handling your new Daisy will behelpful in the handling of any gun.THEOUTDOORDAISYYour Daisyairgun isn'tdesigned for hunting,but you canstill have outdoorfun with it. It'seasy to set up anoutdoor range(SEE SAFE TARGETS).In fact, outdoor shooting is a great way for a young personand his or her parents to have some real family fun andcompetition.When you are carrying a Daisy airgun outdoors, keep thefollowing things in mind:• Don't shoot at targets with a hard surface, like rocks ortrees. Your BB could ricochet. Never shoot at the surface ofwater for the same reason.• Always be sure you know where other people are beforeyou shoot. Make sure they're clear of the target.• Keep the muzzle always pointed in a safe direction so if youstumble and fall you can control the direction of the muzzle.• Keep your Daisy airgun unloaded when you are not using it.• Indoors or out, it's a good idea for the shooter and anyonenear to wear shooting glasses for extra eye protection. (Theycan be purchased at most stores selling sporting goods.)THE INDOOR DAISYA Daisy airgun is safe for indoor shooting as long as youobserve the proper safety rules. There aren't many, but theyare important. First, you must have at least 5 meters (16.4 ft.)of space from the firing line to the target. All Daisy Youth Lineair rifles are designed with controlled velocity of less than 350feet per second and are most effective for target shooting at5 meters. (It takes as much skill to shoot a Daisy on a 5 meterrange as it takes to shoot a .22 on a 50 foot range!) Second,you must have a safe target (See "SAFE TARGET" section)placed so there are no entry ways in front of the firing line orbehind the targets. If this is not possible, then doorways inthe areas should be blocked. Third, you should have a canvasor blanket behind the target which hangs free from the walland clears the floor. This will prevent ricochet should youmiss the target. Finally, your target should be well lighted.Remember to keepyour Daisy unloadeduntil the target is up andyou are ready to shoot.Never point it in anydirection except towardthe target.If you follow theserules and combine themwith the other tips onproper gun handling inthis book, you can enjoysafe, indoor Daisy airgunshooting.10 11

A DAISY BB GUN IS NOTFOR HUNTINGIt's a target-shooting gun. But it teaches you the skill andsafety habits you'll need for hunting.Or, you might prefer preparing yourself for match targetshooting. Many adult gun owners do.PRONESMALL of STOCKSTOCKBUTTREAR SIGHTBARRELFRONT SIGHTKNEELING(LOW)TRIGGERMUZZLEFOREARMCOCKING LEVERTRIGGER GUARDTRIGGER SAFETYSLINGGET TO KNOW YOUR DAISYFROM BUTT PLATE TO MUZZLEDo you know what the trigger guard is? The forearm?Check your knowledge with the picture.HOW TO BECOME AN EXPERTMARKSMANIf you learn the techniques, and practice regularly, youcan become a real marksman.Marksmanship will provide you with a lot of enjoyment allyour life. The tips you'll pick up in this book will get you started.But you'll learn faster by getting some help from an adultwho is an experienced shooter.POSITIONSThere are four basic rifle shooting positions and two variationsof each. Learn them all so you will be prepared for anyshooting conditions. The positions are prone, sitting, kneeling,and standing.Half face to the right before getting into any position.Then:PRONE - Lie at an angle of about 5 to 15 degrees to theline of fire. The left leg should be completely relaxed. Theright leg should angle away from the spine and may be bentor straight.KNEELING - Half face to the right, then drop to the rightknee. In the low position, the left foot should be extended asfar forward as is comfortable, while the right leg is flat on theground with foot flat and rotated inward, with shooter sittingon side of right foot. In the high position, the shooter sits onhis right heel.SITTING - In the low position, cross your legs in front ofyou with the outside of each foot resting on the ground andsupporting the knees. Elbows should be placed near theknees forming triangles to support the rifle. legs are notcrossed in the high position. The feet are well spread, withthe heels braced, and the body leaning forward so the elbowsmay be braced over the knees.STANDING - In the Army standing position, half face tothe right with feet spread about a foot apart. Stand relaxed,not rigid. The right elbow should be at about the same heightas the shoulder. Your left arm does not touch your body.In the N.R.A. standing position, you may rest your leftupper arm against your body on your hip.N.R.A.STANDINGSITTING(LOW)NOW GET YOUR BB GUN INPROPER POSITIONThese simple rules will help you hold your rifle correctly.(Instructions are for a right handed person–reverse for lefthanded person.)1. Grasp the small of the stock with your right hand.2. Let the forearm rest on the palm of your left hand (oron the thumb and fingertips if using the N.R.A. standingposition).3. Place your left elbow as close to directly under your gunas possible.4. Place your cheek as far forward on the stock as possiblewithout straining and press gently against the stock.5. Now make sure your Daisy still points effortlessly at thecenter of the target. To make sure, close your eyes andpoint it where you think the target is. If, when you openyour eyes, the gun is pointing away from the center of thetarget, shift your body to correct. Repeat until naturallycentered.6. Prepare to squeeze the trigger with the first joint of yourfirst (index) finger. But don't fire yet!AIMING (OR SIGHTING)A Daisy will shoot where you aim it. The trick is holdingthe proper sight picture. To do this, think about a lollipop.Then make the front sight the lollipop stick, and the bullseyethe candy! Keep the top of the lollipop stick even with the topof the rear sight and centered in the V notch.Try sighting. Then check what you see against the sightpictures above.To be a consistent marksman, use the correct sightpicture each time you fire the gun, and remember - sight orpoint the gun only in a safe direction.Blade Front SightTOO HIGH TOO LOW JUST RIGHTFiber Optic Front SightTOO HIGH TOO LOW JUST RIGHT1213

BREATHINGBreathing at the wrong moment can cause your body tomove, and your aim to go astray. So breathe properly. Here'show:(a) Take a long breath.(b) Let out half. Aim.(c) Hold the rest until after you've fired.But don't fire yet!FIRINGThis consists of two steps: Aiming and Squeezing.Get your sights in line and watch carefully. As the tip of thesight arrives at the bottom of the bullseye, graduallysqueeze the trigger. Never jerk the trigger. The suddenmovement will ruin your aim. Trigger squeezing takes practice.But keep trying. You'll get it down to an art.Now you are ready to fire.But wait a moment!What are you firing at? Where are you firing?Remember the 10 Shooting Safety Rules - Be sure ofyour target before you shoot. Never carry a cocked gun.Cock it only when ready to fire. Even with the trigger safetyin the ON position, your gun is in fully loaded condition andmust be handled with care.SIGHTING-IN YOUR GUNThe first step in proper sightalignment is to determine the shotgrouping of your new Daisy. To dothis, position a rest, such as a tableor bench, 5 meters from your target.Place your rifle on the rest,and, aiming at the same point onthe target each time, fire threeshots. Do not attempt to make anyadjustments during the three shots.At this point you are only interested in how well your shotsgroup. Once you have determined the grouping ability of youand your rifle, you can then adjust your sights to bring thegroup on target. NOTE: It may be necessary for each personshooting your Daisy air gun to realign the sights to fithis sight pattern.HOW TO MAKE AN INDOOR-OUT-DOOR TARGETA cardboard box 16 inches or more deep, and with atleast two-foot square frontsurface, will serve as thebasis for the target. Center3 inches of tightly boundmagazines (do not substitutenewspapers) on theinside back wall of the boxopposite the target, and fillthe box with tightlypacked, crumpled newspaperto prevent ricochet.Once the backstop is complete,tape the target to the front of the box. Do not usemetal fasteners–ammunition can ricochet. As the target isused, the backing must be watched closely and should bereplaced when the ammunition has penetrated half the thicknessof the magazines.CAUTION: Whether you purchase a target trap ormake your own, it is important to remember that they willwear out with continued use. Because of this, you shouldalways place your backstop where it will be safe should it failand check it carefully before and after each use. A rebound orricochet is an indication that the backstop is faulty and thatyou should stop using it immediately.SHOOTING GAMESOnce you've mastered the basics, you can try a fewshooting games like these:1. TIC-TAC-TOE. Two shooters take one-shot-turns, andmark each hit. Play like regular tic-tac-toe.2. MISS-N-OUT. Set up ten targets. Shoot until you miss.Shooter with most shoots wins.3. HIT-AND-MOVE-BACK. Each shooter takes one stepback every time he hits the target. Farthest back wins.IMPORTANT: Be sure you are using a safe backstopbehind all targets!USE THE RIGHT AMMUNITIONYour new Daisy is designed to use only steel BBs or pellets(.177 cal. / 4.5 mm). Load your gun with clean, newDaisy BBs. If dirty, deformed, used BBs, oversized balls orother foreign objects are used, your gun will not feed correctlyand may jam, possibly resulting in serious injury.When buying ammo for your gun, be sure to look for thislabel: BB cal. (.177 cal. / 4.5mm) Steel Air Gun Shot or.177 cal. / 4.5mm pellets.Steel shot will fire at a higher velocity than lead shotwith the same muzzle energy. As a result, more caution isrequired when using steel shot (i.e. BBs or lead-free pellets).Remember: Use only proper shot in your airgun and donot reuse shot.WHEN YOU’VE FINISHED SHOOTINGOne of the most important rules of proper gun handlingis NEVER STORE A LOADED GUN. When you have finishedshooting, unload your gun. The Operation Manual whichcame with your new Daisy tells you how. Before putting yourgun away in a cabinet or gun rack, make sure it is clean, dry,oiled, empty, and uncocked. BBs should be stored in a separateplace to keep them away from untrained shooters.LEARN TO SHOOT SAFELYDaisy Outdoor Products has a rich heritage of teachingyoung and first time shooters to shoot safely.
